Answer: [1] People say the necessities of life are food, water, shelter, and clothing, but I think a fifth item should be added to the list: Scotch tape.

The second paragraph might seem like a valid option because it highlights the narrator's constant need for scotch tape. However, only the first sentence shows the kind of worship this person has for that item, stating that it should be considered as much of a life necessity as food, water, shelter, and clothing.
